Drinking for a healthy heart

In Japan, researchers discovered that green tea drinkers were less likely to get coronary artery disease, and a French study found that women who drank over three daily cuppas reduced the risk of blocked arteries by almost a third.

Drinking more than three cups of black tea halves your chance of having a heart attack according to Dutch research, while a US study found heart attack victims who drank two cups of green or black tea a day were less likely to die than non-tea drinkers.
